Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

In the evening, Defang had dinner with Wang Tongda and Xing Changyuan in the government office, while Jiajun checked the situation of the troops in the name of patrolling. year?"

"Back to the prince, it has been seven years since the end of the world"

"Seven years has been so long? Didn't the Ministry of War order the general to return to Beijing to serve?" Defang asked tentatively

"Hey" Wang Tongda sighed

This made Defang very strange, and asked, "Why is the general sighing?"

Wang Tongda looked at Defang with some embarrassment, "The general heard that the prince is loyal and virtuous, so he will not hide it from the prince through this wine. The general asked the Ministry of War for defense three years ago, but there has been no news. The old wounded last year The recurrence may affect the responsibility of defense. I wanted to ask for an order again, hoping to return to Beijing to serve, but the officials in Beijing and Zhongdi conveyed the intention of the Ministry of War, or they will continue to guard the city and wait for the order. So far, there has been no result."

"Officer?" Defang thought for a while, "But Master Shi Boshi?"

Xing Changyuan who was next to him was startled and asked, "How does the lord know Mr. Shi?"

"I met once before coming to Beijing." De Fang smiled, "Because the servants in his mansion stole the jade pendant and collided with the sedan chair team of the king, the king took people to find Mr. Shi to check the situation."

"So that's how it is" Xing Changyuan seemed to be thinking

"Where is General Wang from?" Defang asked

"The last general was originally from the capital city. He brought his family here seven years ago. He thought he could return in three years according to the imperial system, but he stayed for seven years. Three years ago, his family's carriage overturned and his wife died. , is now nearly fifty years old, and is still alone, so I really want to return to Beijing to take care of the elderly." Speaking of this, Wang Tongda was a little sentimental

Defang looked at Wang Tongda, feeling very uncomfortable, and said, "I really didn't expect General Wang to have such a painful experience. When I return to the capital, I will definitely play Ming Shengshang and let General Wang return to the capital."

"Thank you, the last general," Wang Tongda said with some red eyes.

Defang picked up the wine glass, "I respect the general."

"Thank you, my lord" Wang Tongda drank it all in one gulp

Defang turned to look at Xing Changyuan who was thinking about something, "What is Master Xing thinking?"

Xing Changyuan quickly came back to his senses and said, "I'm being rude, I just didn't expect the prince to know Mr. Shi."

Defang smiled, "It's just a coincidence, it means that this king is destined to be with Qinzhou."

"Yes, yes, this time the prince came here in person, it can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to the imperial wine."

"Well, who is bad for good wine? What's more, Your Majesty, now that you have given a plaque, you must choose it carefully." Defang drank a glass of wine with a smile and looked at the glass. People, let alone good wine, this time I heard that the king is coming here to supervise the imperial wine, and Li Yi was awarded the national champion of the imperial wine. I want to taste the taste of the fine wine Li Yi personally brewed, so I can tell him when I go back, hehehe"

Xing Changyuan felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.

After the banquet, Wang Tongda was a little drunk, so he was supported by the lieutenant general to leave first. Xing Changyuan sent Defang to the front of the government office, but Defang and the others could not go far, and saw several officers walking by in the distance. Talked to the gate guard at the main gate of the mansion, and then went straight inside. Defang was very surprised, why the officer came to the mansion at this time, so he sent the guard Chongming to check, and returned to the house by himself. It took a long time for Chongming to return.

"My lord, my subordinates are back"

"How?" Defang asked
